Instructions
Give this classic and comforting lamb recipe a go for your Easter family feast!
In the kitchen:
- Place the leg of lamb on the Grill Rack. Season the lamb well with salt and pepper.
- For the marinade, rinse and chop the thyme, crush the garlix and mix everything with Dijon mustard and oil.
- Wash the potatoes and make deep cuts into the flesh, without cutting completely through. The cuts should be just three quarters into the potatoes.
- Chop the rosemary and crush the garlic, then mix with rapeseed oil, paprika, salt and pepper. Turn the potatoes in the mix.
At the barbecue:
- Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 220°C. If using a 57cm charcoal barbecue, you will need 1/2 a Chimney Starter of lit Weber briquettes.
- Place the Grill Rack with the leg of lamb on the indirect heat (above the potatoes), set your iGrill at 63°C and insert the probe into the meat.
- Cook the lamb for approx. 90 minutes until it reaches 63°C.
- After 30 minutes of cooking, place the hasselback potaties underneath your cooking grate in your indirect zone.
- Brush the meat with the Dijon marinade and continue to do this regularly.
- Remove the potatoes and the meat when it has a core temperature of 63°C. Allow the leg of lamb to rest uncovered for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Tip: Cooking your potatoes underneath your meat helps to cook them quicker. In addition, they absorb the meat juices, which gives them additional flavour.
